DEDHAM – A Quincy man accused of threatening to blow up a cable company office has been indicted in Superior Court.

A Norfolk County grand jury handed down an indictment last week against Anthony N. Poze, 71, of 28 Smith St., Quincy, for a single count of making a bomb threat. His arraignment in Superior Court has yet to be scheduled.

Police began looking into the alleged threats last August after an investigator with Comcast told Quincy police that Poze had talked about driving a “truck bomb” through a company office building while on the phone with a Comcast employee, according to a police report.

The investigator told police that Poze had said he didn’t “have any recourse except putting a truck bomb through the (expletive) cable office.” The investigator said Poze hung up, then called back and added: “There are really going to be people, I might be one of them, who are going to drive car bombs into your service center and blow you up.”

The investigator told police that when he called to ask about the threats, Poze was “very apologetic” and said he was not going to blow anything up.
